I would argue that Hayao Miyazaki is a master of the Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction. Here are some quotes from the storyteller that support this theory:

"I’ve become skeptical of the unwritten rule that just because a boy and girl appear in the same feature, a romance must ensue. Rather, I want to portray a slightly different relationship, one where the two mutually inspire each other to live - if I’m able to, then perhaps I’ll be closer to portraying a true expression of love."

“Many of my movies have strong female leads- brave, self-sufficient girls that don't think twice about fighting for what they believe with all their heart. They'll need a friend, or a supporter, but never a savior. Any woman is just as capable of being a hero as any man.”

This quote specifically indicates the Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction to me as the hero narrative is overall patriarchal, and counts on a man to deliver the damsel in distress. The hero's journey, after all, is not the same as the heroine's journey, which is a book I'd like to read!

“I would like to make a film to tell children "it's good to be alive".”

Studio ghibli films also make use of kishotenketsu.
